Easy DIY Essential Oil Reed Diffuser

Simple 3 Ingredient Homemade Essential Oil Diffuser

How to Make a Homemade Essential Oil Diffuser

Everyone loves their home to smell nice, and making your own homemade essential oil diffuser is a great way to do that without having to spring for more expensive candles or reed diffuser oils to do the job.

One reason I particularly wanted to try making a diffuser using water rather than an oil base was that many people complain about the oil (not the essential oils) in other homemade reed diffusers going rancid after only a day or two.

Personally, that's not something I want to worry about so I decided to just try it with water.

I found a post at ourhomemadehappiness.com who has tried doing the same thing with success, so I figured it was worth a shot.

Homemade Essential Oil Diffuser With a Candle Warmer

Fast and Easy Homemade Essential Oil Diffuser

OK, here's a really quick tip to make your house smell awesome with a homemade essential oil diffuser.

If the idea of little wax particles and smoke floating around your house is a turn off, smoky incense bugs you, or if you just want to try something new to make your house smell great this diffuser is for you. You might take one look at the picture above and think to yourself that it doesn't look like a diffuser.

It is really easy to do at any time, and without having to buy anything new or special, and that's something I like. So without further ado, here's how you can make your own homemade diffuser.
